Rough time at bargaining table

[b bulldog]

Yes but evn if TT could get a 3rd or 4th rounder for 99, it would be better than letting him walk. Bedard did state that he thinks 99 is overrated for whatever it is worth.

But wouldn't you probably get a 3rd or 4th in composition the following year anyways? Does it matter if we get that pick this year or next?

Actually that depends on how he performs (is it compared to the player who replaced him or just how he performs?)

[vince]

It's a combination of the contract he signs and performance. I'm not certain how it's computed, and I think it's a bit arbitrary as decided by some NFL committee...

[Bretsky]

I am now solidly in this camp also.

Welcome to the Light

Leave the detractors behind (ode to Tex)

Teams always feel screwed when their expectations of what they think they will get are compared with what they actually do get

I still haven't figured out how compensatory picks are valued. Is it based on size of contract, or actual production of the player? Ahman Green is a perfect example. Based on the contract he signed, I would expect a high midround pick. Based on production, we should anticipate far less.

Considering how draft picks are so coveted I'm surprised more science isn't applied, or at least made public, to this process.

Believe it's a combo of contract size, production, and that is measure up against what you gained in free agency if any

Last yr Ahman Green left and we got Frank Walker

Would not surprise me if it gives us a 6th

If it were fair, we'd owe the Texans a 3rd rounder. And we might owe the Giants a 2nd rounder.
